    It's all Iggy-growl motorik country-boogie and modal psychedelic blues jams. [May 2014, p.96]

    Quite aside from the technical brilliance of its execution, Doubled Exposure is a weird boogie album of immense humanity and warmth, driven to a great extent by Shuford's irrepressible charisma. [Mar 2014, p.63]

    This is a record you could play on the car stereo whilst burning up the miles on the Tennessee interstate, and it’d never sound wrong.

    Doubled Exposure, recorded by Jason Meagher at Black Dirt Studios in upstate New York, has a rich, full, warm, and still live-sounding and edgy wash of grit all over it, and it is Speer's most accessible album yet, if accessible means one can't help being kind of fascinated by it.

    The band manages to sound half-inebriated and unbelievably tight at the same time, a loosely strung collaboration that is, nonetheless, completely in sync.

    A record that may occasionally get on one's nerves, yet undoubtedly overflows with vitality.

    Double Exposure can sometimes come off sounding precious, a bunch of genre studies without that mysterious extra something--this grit ain't turning into a pearl. But when they stretch out, as on "Mandorla At Dawn," The Helix move with loose-limbed grace. [Mar 2014, p.83]

    Its consolidation of antiquated and contemporary music is generally inventive, occasionally poignant and always entertaining.

    At just eight tracks, it may not be the longest of their albums, but it’s certainly one of their most accessible.

    Doubled Exposure is a fun, chewy listen as it spins, but there’s also nothing too sticky about it.
